IT Centers Spending and Constraints

Source: IDC

Data center growth30M servers currently installed, 4x expected growth in the next 10 years10x increase in digital records retention and online transactions

Operating and management cost$8 for maintenance for every $1 spend on new infrastructure

Real-estate restrictions>$1000 per sq ft for construction costs

Power and cooling costs have doubled since 200050¢ for power/cooling for every $1 spend on server hardware

Server utilizationOver 50% of CPU time is wasted on non-application activities
